What Size Will I Achieve with 245 Gr Dual Plane? (photo)

Good morning from Italy! Some weeks ago the doctor suggested allergan natrelle 245 gr anatomical extra full projection in dual plane. This is because I'm very thin. The width of my breast is 10cm (3,93 inches) and the distances between the sternal notch and the nipples are 15 and 16 cm. (5,9 and 6,2 inches). He assured me that i will achieve a small C, which would be very good, but I'm not sure this is true. 245 gr seems so small. What do you think about it? Thanks in advance

Size

As a general rule there is no standard for a cup size since cup sizes will vary depending on the manufacturer and the bra style. Your measurements will determine the proper size.

245 cc and What Cup Size?

In a very narrow, thin individual 200 cc may increase the individual by a cup size. Therefore, 245 cc may take you from an A to small C, but this is only a guess.

Cup Size is related to Projection.

Hello, and thank you for your question and photos. While it is impossible to fully predict post-operative cup size exactly, especially without an in person examination, good educated guesses are possible. You breast diameter is very small, and I suspect you have a very thin chest frame. If the diameter of the implant matches your ideal breast diameter, then the projection is the key. While 245 cc doesn't seem like a lot, most of the volume is going into projection and... more

Cup size and implant volume

Unfortunately it is very difficult to compare the implant volume with cup size. It is best to do a baggy test with the volume that you think will be right for you and see how it looks in a bra and t-shirt. Good luck. For me to properly assess you, it would be best to see you in person.

What Size Will I Achieve

Thank you for your question and for the attached photos. There are no fixed definitions of cup size, so predicting an outcome is folly, particularly online. There are many techniques used in choosing implant size. The one I have found to be most useful is having a patient try on implants, and use that as a guide to choosing an appropriate size. Many surgeons estimate that patients get about a cup size increase for each 200 to 250 cc of implant. If... more

Ultimate size?

There's absolutely no way to determine your exact size after surgery. The size you mention could give you a C or a B cup. The plastic surgeon your're seeing has the advantage of having examined you and should have a better grasp on the recommendation she/he's made. It's better to identify that the size you mentioned will likely make you look better and give you more confidence. Best wishes, Aldo Guerra MD.

Bra Cup Size after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question and pictures.  Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast augmentation with a certain size implant. I suggest that patients not base communication of goals or satisfaction with the results of surgery on achieving a specific cup size. As you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. In my... more
